“Amy took such great care of my dog, Lola. She sent pictures everyday and gave me updates on her to let me know how she was doing. This is my first time using a sitter while on vacation and I am more than pleased. My dog is 14 years old so I worry about how she’ll do when I am out of town. Amy was so sweet with her! I”

“Matt is everything you want in a dog sitter! He provides consistent updates with the best pics, responds quickly, and most importantly treats your dog like one of his own! We use him whenever he’s available and highly recommend him.”


“Our puppy had the best week with Cyndi! Cyndi loved her like her own puppy and treated her so well. She sent many updates (twice a day) and really went above and beyond. We will use Cyndi for sure in the future!”

“I can’t recommend Kelsi enough! She took amazing care of my Great Dane puppy, Wax, over the weekend. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in great hands. My favorite part of the experience was all the pictures Kelsi sent—seeing Wax play and enjoy himself made me feel so relieved while I was away. When I picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. Kelsi truly went above and beyond, and I’ll absolutely trust her with Wax again. Five stars all the way!”


“Damacia was fantastic! Our Goldendoodle puppy loved playing with her dogs and was very well-cared for. She came home clean, happy and tired! We’d definitely recommend and will use Damacia in the future. We are so grateful to have found her!”

“My pooch was very well cared for with Susan! She has a sweet dog herself that was great play companion. Appreciated daily pics to keep me updated of how she was doing!”

“The girls had a great time at Amy’s once again. This time their stay was for almost two weeks and Amy made sure to keep Izzy and Daisy occupied while Mom and Dad were away. They love playing with Jackson, going for walks and the dog park. Thanks Amy for taking great care of our girls!!”

“My pup had a great time with Jesse and his dogs! He got lots of exercise and was a happy boy when we picked him up. Jesse has very prompt and helpful communication. Will book again!”


“What a wonderful family!!! They were so welcoming of our big Akita and took care of him just like he was their own. And their dog was also great with mine. They were so accommodating and happy to have Rocko. I would 100% recommend them to anyone and will be using them again. Thank you again Zach and Kelsey!”

“I can’t imagine ever leaving my dog with anyone else, Sheri and her family are FANTASTIC. They took such good care of my dog, sent daily updates with photos, threw my dog a birthday party, and went above and beyond literally every single day she was in their care. I highly recommend Sheri - she was communicative, kind, and flexible and I might just plan vacations around her availability in the future.”

“Our pup had an amazing stay. We were put at ease by the many updates and pics of her enjoying herself. Pamela and Paul are so incredibly friendly. We will definitely book again!”

“So happy I found this website and Jayanna! She did an amazing job and made my dog feel comfortable, even though she was very nervous around the other dogs at first. Jayanna was patient and caring. She sent us photos and videos throughout the stay without us even having to ask, which gave us great peace of mind. She was also extremely flexible and accommodating, especially since our booking request was made only two hours in advance. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her services again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“I cannot recommend this wonderful woman enough! Our dog had the best time staying with Natasha and her sweet family. We received photos daily and our dog was always happily playing with children and occasionally with other dogs. I was able to enjoy our vacation with complete confidence that our puppy was doing just fine! 100% RECOMMEND!! THANK YOU!”

“Jeanette is truly a gem! She took care of my dog for 8 days, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we met, I could see how kind, responsible, and genuinely loving she is with animals. My dog instantly felt comfortable around her—which says a lot! Jeanette kept me updated with sweet messages and photos throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. When I picked my dog up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. Her home is warm and perfectly set up for pets to feel safe and at ease. I’m beyond grateful for the care and attention she gave, and I wouldn’t hesitate to leave my pup with her again. Highly, highly recommend!””

“Jennifer was wonderful! She was super knowledgeable about dog behavior and offered a number of tips through our conversations. While we were away for 3 days, she sent pictures regularly. Baker and Banner had a blast and are exhausted! I highly recommend her!”

“Wonderful experience. Emily and Abi took such good care of our CheChe! Communication was excellent and they made sure she had everything she needed to be healthy, happy and comfortable during her week-long stay.”

Words can’t express how grateful we were to find Shakita! Our plans changed at the last minute requiring a panicked search for a sitter. Our dog Harley is only 6 pounds, so we were nervous about leaving her with just anyone. Shakita’s reviews were excellent and knowing that she had smaller dogs put us at ease. Her communication was excellent and she often provided pictures and video. It was clear that Harley was having a ball with her new friends. She was on a vacation just as much as we were!

5 Stars all the way! Diva and Bossman lived their stay with Shakita. Shakita was attentive and snuggled the dogs, giving them the much needed hugs and attention they wanted. We will be coming back to have Shakita take care of them again! The dogs were happy, and Shakita took pictures throughout the weekend, which was so nice knowing that these babies were truly calm and happy! Can’t wait to book again with Shakita!

92% of sitters in Ashland can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Ashland home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Ashland.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Ashland sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in VA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
